During the last six months certificates of
authorization have been issued by the bank
examiner to loan and building associations
at Gardiner, Madison, Waterville, Auburn
and Foxcroft.
The examiner is of the opinion that these
associations should be encouraged in all the
cities and in manufacturing towns where a
large number Of workmen are constantly
employed. The influence of these associa-
tions tends to make every workingman a
holder of real estate to the extent of owning
his home and so to make each actively inter
ested In the prosperity of the city or town in
which he resides.
Since the year began three of the nine
banking institutions chartered by the last
legislature have notified the examiner of
their organization: The Northern Banking
Company of Portland, the Eastern Loan and
Trust Company of Bangor, the Oxford Loan
and Trust Company Of Norway.
A. The capital stock of each of these corpora
tions is fully paid up and all have started
